What lets in E13, and at what
Our managed book inside E13 is zero today — and we would rather say so than borrow a number. The row below is our book in E15, the neighbouring postcode where our office is, labelled as exactly that. The moment we let our first Plaistow home, this block changes by itself: it is computed from the live book on every build.
The managed row is computed from our live book when this page builds, and labelled with exactly the postcode it comes from.

The method · one fee
What we do, and what it costs
One all-in fee: 10% of monthly rent including VAT, charged only in the months a tenant is paying rent. No letting fee, no renewal fee, no rent-review fee — and nothing during a void, nothing to re-let. The full working of what the 10% covers is on the landlords page.
Pricing a Plaistow home starts where all our pricing starts: evidence — the Land Registry, the EPC register, our managed book next door, and a three-year timing dataset (August carries the year’s highest enquiries-to-listings ratio; weeks three and four out-pull one and two; Monday morning is the launch slot). Book a free rental valuation and we will show you the comparables we used — and where they came from.
The line we hold: we won’t publish a Plaistow rent range we cannot stand behind, and we won’t take a home on at a price we don’t believe it will let at. Borrowed averages cost landlords real money.

The next postcode from our door
Plaistow is E13, London Borough of Newham — the borough our office sits in. Plaistow station is Zone 3 on the District and Hammersmith & City lines, and the walk between our High Street office and E13 crosses one postcode boundary, not a river.
The stock here is a different animal from Stratford’s towers: terraced streets and conversions, where the certificate, the floorplan and the presentation decide the advert — and where a new-build-calibrated agent has to slow down and read the actual house. We do. When the evidence is thin, we say so, and price from a proper valuation rather than a portal average.
For the wider picture next door — the interchange, the towers, our E15 book — see the Stratford area guide and our Stratford letting page.
Choosing · honestly
How to choose a letting agent here
“Best estate agents in Plaistow” is not a crown we can award ourselves — our office is one postcode over, and plenty of agents work this patch. Ask us and every one of them the same questions. What did you let near this street in the last 90 days? Show me the pricing evidence — and its source. What exactly does the fee include? Who answers when my tenant calls at nine in the evening? And will you tell me a number I don’t want to hear?
Our answers are on this page, and the door they lead to is at 415 High Street, Stratford. If another agent’s answers are better, use them — we mean that. The wrong agent costs the void, and the wrong tenant.
Questions we get asked
Letting in Plaistow
Who are the best estate agents in Plaistow?
No agent can honestly award themselves that — and our own office is one postcode over, in Stratford, which we say plainly. Judge every agent on evidence: what they actually let near you recently, what the fee genuinely includes, and whether they will defend a price with data. Our evidence and our fee are on this page, computed and stated live.
What does a letting agent charge in Plaistow?
At Harvey W James, one all-in fee: 10% of monthly rent including VAT, charged only in the months a tenant is paying rent — no letting fee, no renewal fee, no rent-review fee, nothing during a void, nothing to re-let. Tenants pay no fees under the Tenant Fees Act 2019: a holding deposit capped at one week’s rent, a deposit of five or six weeks, and the first month’s rent — nothing else.
What rent does a house or flat in Plaistow achieve?
We won’t quote an E13 average we do not hold evidence for — our managed book inside E13 is zero today, and this page says so rather than borrowing a portal number. The honest route to your figure is a free rental valuation: comparables shown, sources named. Our E15 book next door is above, labelled as exactly that.
Do you cover Plaistow?
Yes. Newham is our home borough — the office is at 1st Floor, 415 High Street, Stratford E15 4QZ, one postcode from E13 — and we let and manage across Plaistow on the same all-in 10% fee, with the same evidence discipline this page is built on.
